Lauren Featherstone

Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach
Lauren's mission is to help you get off of the diet roller coaster and create a healthy, sustainable lifestyle that works for you! As a former dancer and swimmer, she developed a love for health and fitness at a young age. While other teens were reading Seventeen Magazine, she was consuming every inch of Self and Women's Health. In 2012, Lauren graduated from Arizona State University with her Bachelors in Print Journalism and a plan to combine her two passions, writing for a health magazine; however, years of experimenting with many of the fad "diets" she read about led to a struggle for balance.

After being both under and overweight, trying everything from Slimfast to Paleo, HCG and everything in between, Lauren finally found stability counting macros in 2016. She was the heaviest she'd ever been and began a journey of self-discovery for both physical and mental health. In July 2017, after losing 45 pounds herself, Lauren hired coach and co-founder, Tommy Jeffree.

Since then she has lost an additional 45 pounds and competed in two NPC bikini competitions. Now she wants to pay it forward and help you stop the yo-yo dieting and restrictions to create a fun and balanced lifestyle. Between her own experiences and mentoring from Tommy, this Arizona native is ready to share her knowledge and help you achieve and maintain a healthy mind and body!

Krista Stubbs

Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach
Krista Stubbs lives and breathes health and wellness with a comprehensive background in transformation, working from the inside out. Krista has 13 years of experience working with a wide array of clientele from teenagers to seniors. She has experience in coaching all athletes, from triathletes to fitness competitors. Many of Krista’s clients are everyday people who want to improve their quality of life with fitness and nutrition. Everything she has coached she has done herself.

In the last couple years Krista has been pursuing her Integrated Health Practitioner and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner credentials, so that she can help her clients with functional lab testing, taking the guessing out and getting real answers. Her passion is helping people find healing from chronic illnesses by getting to the root causes. Living a life free from symptoms such as brain fog, unexplained weight gain, anxiety, depression, autoimmune diseases, chronic fatigue, and many more.

This passion to help others is personal. Krista’s mother was diagnosed with ALS and lost the battle at a very young age of 50 years old. In 2017 Krista was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, Hypothyroid, and adrenal fatigue. Conventional medical doctors gave pills to treat the symptoms, but Krista still had no relief with that approach. Being the researcher she is, she went to the books. With lots of work and ups and downs, Krista put her Hashimoto’s in remission! This lit a fire to dig more into why some clients were still not feeling at their best, with diet and exercise.

Krista is determined to help people unlock their true potential in all aspects of life. To unleash their own power within themselves and walk and breath in confidence, finding true empowerment. Living limitless.

Some of Krista’s hobbies are: Olympic Lifting, there’s nothing like throwing some heavy barbells around! She loves the Arizona heat! You can catch her out paddleboarding, hiking, or at home reading a book. She is a single mom and loves being with her teen as much as possible, of course when he’s not too cool to be with mom.

Christina Durivage

Christina is passionate about helping others overcome the quick fix mentality and helping them to develop a healthier relationship with food. Showing others that they can reach their goals by eating what they love and being flexible is something that has helped her with her own goals as well. 

Christina grew up in a small town in Indiana. She grew up playing sports and being athletic but no one ever really taught her about good nutrition. She moved out to Arizona in 2008. A few years later she met her husband and they quickly started having babies. She knew right away she wanted to teach her children how to eat right and make good choices when it came to health and wellness. She decided it was time their family implement a healthier lifestyle. She didn’t know where to start so she turned to quick fix diets with multi-level marketing companies. After years of that she decided it was time for something else because progress was stalled. She reached out to Erik Young and has been working with him for over 2 years now. He’s mentored and taught her so much over these last couple years. She’s really fallen in love with the process of flexible dieting.

She finds it important to teach her clients about consistency and sustainability when it comes to nutrition and goals. She is committed to helping her clients feel their best and reach their goals while eating the foods they love.
